🌐 Strengthening Cyber Defense Through Cutting-Edge Training 🌐 This summer, Center for Information Warfare Training (IWTC) Corry Station introduced the Cyber Defense Analyst-Host Course, a pilot program designed to enhance cyber defense capabilities across the military. This 8-week course equips service members and United States Department of Defense civilians with essential skills for defensive cyber operations, including threat mitigation, vulnerability assessments, and media analysis. Chief Petty Officer Nicholas Culver emphasized the impact: "This course ensures we deliver Sailors who are capable, confident, and practiced in complex host analysis." The first official iteration of the course begins on Oct. 1, 2024 at Corry Station, setting a new standard for cyber readiness in joint operations. #CyberSecurity #InformationWarfare #MilitaryTraining #CyberDefense #NETC #USNavy 👨💻 Learn more about the impact of this program and the future of cyber defense here: https://lnkd.in/ewRKsEVY

🔒🛡️South Australia leads in global cybersecurity exercise! During the world's most complex cybersecurity drill, Locked Shields, South Australia led the effort from the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre at Lot Fourteen. This NATO exercise involved 3,000 experts from 40 countries, all working to defend virtual national IT systems against live cyber attacks, enhancing readiness for real-world information warfare. 🌐 For the first time, Australia, in collaboration with the US and Greece, formed a 160-member team including the Royal Australian Air Force, Australian Army, Australian Federal Police, Defence SA, and experts from telecommunications, mining, power, and local universities. This marked a pivotal moment for collaborative defence, integrating state, federal, and private sectors. 💻 Lot Fourteen's CyberOps Pty Ltd played a crucial role in facilitating the exercise, including training the participants. This exercise not only tested but also showcased Australia's cyber capabilities on a global stage, strengthening partnerships that are vital for protecting and advancing South Australia's IT infrastructure and security. #CyberSecurity #LockedShields #NATO #SouthAustralia #LotFourteen #GlobalSecurity #Innovation

This October, we highlight our commitment to safeguarding military networks and equipment. With strong protocols, proactive threat detection, and continuous training, we ensure our systems are secure. Key initiatives include: · Cyber Material Assurance Program: Every Equipment Program Management group creates a Platform Protection Plan to assess and improve cyber resilience during equipment acquisition and sustainment. · Cyber Mission Assurance (CMA) Program: Led by the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Command (CAFCYBERCOM), this program integrates cybersecurity into risk management across all divisions. · Collaboration Across Branches: The Air Force, Army and Navy are all working together to enhance security measures, conduct exercises, and implementing rigorous assessments to protect against cyber threats. As we navigate a digitally connected world, our ongoing efforts ensure mission success and the protection of critical assets. Together, we can secure our future!   #WellEquipped

Join us on 5/22. Adversaries are dedicating significant resources to put the nation at cyber risk. From the U.S. economy to critical infrastructure and assets, cyberattacks can compromise critical information, disrupt supply chains, and even put lives in jeopardy. Are you prepared to disrupt this evolving threat? Stephen Fogarty, Lieutenant General (retired), U.S. Army Cyber Command, will lead a panel of threat hunting experts to understand the transformation required to counter these pervasive threats, both for public and private sector organizations.

Defence has just launched a new capability release for the DISP Membership Portal, making it easier for existing DISP companies to self-manage their membership. This includes streamlined cyber security assessments aligned with ACSC's Essential Eight strategies. Key benefits include enhanced self-service capabilities, improved security for member information and simplified compliance processes. This latest development aligns with the Defence Industry Development Strategy (DIDS), which aims to create a more innovative and resilient defence industrial base. #cybersecurity #defence #DISP #DIDS #ACSC #EssentialEight Image: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, the Hon Richard Marles MP; Minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery, the Hon Pat Conroy MP; Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Simon Stuart, AO, DSC; and Head Land Capability, Major General Richard Vagg, DSC, engage with industry partners at Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition 2024 in Melbourne, Victoria.

Momentum Cyber's 2023 Cyber Almanac is a must-read! Pg. 102 has some interesting data and hits close to home. This is why the FMS (Foreign Military Sales) Sector and helping our allies and partners in Eastern Europe and abroad are critical. Cyberwarfare is here, and unlike traditional warfare, there are no frontlines, boundaries, or perimeters. We are only as strong as our allies; helping them is also an investment in our homeland defense. Thank you to Bryson Bort for sharing this in your webinar today. https://lnkd.in/e92vM-ed #cyberwarfare #offensivecyber #cyberdefense #fms #cybersecurity
